Joseph Parker (2025 SS, Purvis, MS) found three barrels this game. He crushed a hanging slider deep into the right-center gap for a ground-rule double at a 101 EV, had a backside line drive knock at a 92 EV and also flew out to the warning track in right at a 96 EV. Standout strength and bat speed was on full display in BP and it translated in-game.
Landon Schaefer (2025 SS, Fayetteville, AR) barreled a deep sac-fly into the left center gap that scored the first run of the game and followed it up with a hard ground ball double down the LF line at 94 EV. Quick/direct bat path that has shown some serious impact to the pullside.
Cooper Rummel (2025 RHP, Austin, TX) threw two quality innings to begin the game, giving up no earned runs where he struck out three. Showed a low-effort operation where his fastball sat an easy 92-94. Mixed in two distinct breaking balls. One being a sweeper in the upper 70s and the other being a more slurvy breaker in the mid 70s.
Dean Livingston (2025 SS, Suwanee, GA) struggled in his first inning of work but struck out the side in his second inning showing legit swing and miss stuff. Ran the FB up to 95 showing both 4S and 2S shape. Mixed in a tight slider in the low 80s with good tilt as well as a slower depthy CB.
Trent Grindlinger (2025 C, Huntington Beach, CA) hit a hard groundball single back up the box at 104 EV. Generates outlier bat speed with ease where he throws the barrel on a more direct bat path.
Wade Shelley (2025 OF, Webb, AL) barreled up a 90 mph fastball for a low line-drive single into the 3-4 hole. Keeps it simple and compact at the plate where he lets his strong/fast hands work.
Hagen Wright (2025 OF, Mesa, AZ) demolished a 93 mph fastball and deposited it over the left field wall at a 104 EV. Has been on a homerun tear of late as he continues to show his standout ability to lift to the pullside.
Brandon Logan (2025 OF, Fort Wayne, IN) turned on a low 90s inside fastball and barreled it down the left field line for a double and followed that up with a line drive single the opposite way off 92. Is showing off his twitchy fast hands that stay inside the baseball very well.
JD Stein (2025 SS, Carmel, IN) found the barrel on a 90 mph fastball for a double down the left field line and later grounded one hard into the 3-4 hole for an RBI single. Keeps it short and compact at the plate which allows for easy barrel accuracy.
Joey Senstock (2025 3B, Lincoln, NE) ripped a 103 EV double into the left-center gap. Rhythmic stroke where his loose hands throw the barrel short-to-long through the zone with some easy bat speed.
Connor Hamilton (2025 RHP, Thompsons Station, TN) threw two shutout innings where he produced a ton of whiffs with his arsenal. Athletic delivery that moves with intent down the mound. Ran the FB up to 96, living in the low 90s. Mixed in a sweeper in the low 80s and a quality CH at 86-88.
Caden Crowell (2025 LHP, Valparaiso, IN) struck out five in his two innings of work. Fastball was up to 94 flashing some quality armside run to his 2-seam. His SL at 78-80 was particularly tough on LHHs showing quality tilting action.
Ty Kennedy (2025 SS, Orlando, FL) drove a 91 mph fastball into the right center gap for a standup triple at a 100 EV. Solid bat-to-ball offensive profile where the bat works on a flatter path through the zone.
Ethan Moore (2025 SS, River Forest, IL) hit a hard GB into the 3-4 hole at a 102 EV for a single. In BP and with his in-game knock has shown strong hands that work short and direct that provide some loud impact even when he eliminates the lower-half.
Tyler Wood (2025 RHP, Lees Summit, MO) pitched two shutout innings where he struck out three. Athletic delivery with an ultra quick arm that ran his fastball up to 94. His slider showed quality shape at 78-80 and flashed a CH in the low 80s.
Preston Yaucher (2025 SS, Verona, WI) found enough barrel on a 91 mph fastball to drop it down the right field line for a double and earlier in the game he drove a deep flyball into the right center gap at a 95 EV. On both swings he kept his hands in tight showing how well he can stay inside the baseball.
Mateo Noto (2025 SS, Brooklyn, NY) lined a mid 80s fastball hard into right for a single. Keeps it simple with his lower half as his hands lag the barrel well showing a flatter path that has some good length through contact.
Vince Ferrell (2025 OF, Clearwater, FL) got off some good swings this game. Barreled a hard ground ball to the SS and lined one back up the box for a single. Good adjustability to the hands that can manipulate the barrel.
Eli Willits (2025 SS, Fort Cobb, OK) ended the game with an opposite field shot into the left-center gap for an inside-the-park HR. From the left side there is noticeable twitch/quickness to the hands that supply sneaky all-fields impact.
